Tune Down 1/2 Step

Am  G#m   Am  G#m   G

C
Green world, love the chloroform
Dm
Front porch in the thunderstorm
F		Dm		C
Controlled chaos, confused energy

C
So stop reading the weather charts
Dm
Stop counting the playing cards
F		Dm		C
There's no system, there's no guarantee

F			G			C
That the love you feel and carry inside can be passed
But you try, I know you do, you still talk to the past
		Dm	G
Ask how are you getting on alone

C
Some wander the wilderness
Dm
some drink cosmopolitans
F		Dm		C
Some cold science, some glean astroplanes

C
I can't tell where the camera stops
Dm
homesick as an astronaut
F		Dm		C
Just keep drifting, but still can't explain

F			G			C
How the love we feel we carry inside can be passed
See a brother in the gutter and reach out your hand
		Dm	G
Ask how are you getting on alone

C
What gauge measures miracles
Dm
Whose heartbeat's electrical
F		Dm		C
We feign sickness with our modern joy

C
But even Western medicine
Dm
It couldn't save Danny Callahan
F		Dm		C
Bad bone marrow, the poor little boy

F			G			C
But the love he feels he carries inside can be passed
He lay still, his mother kissed him goodbye, said comeback
		Dm	G
Where are you going to alone
Where are you going all alone
